For the benefit of our democratic
friends we place in their hands the
following information, and advise
them to clip it out and paste 1t upon
the wall where 1t will be handy for
reference. The democratic natl onal
convention of 1888 will consist of $50
delegates, divided as follows: The
New England states, 76; the middle
states, $50; the southern states BOG;
the western states, 242; the Pacific
states, 2S; the territories and the
District of Columbia, Is. The two
thirds rule obtains in the grand eau
Gus of the democracy, and the man
who will be nominated will have to
get, therefore, SAT votes. This gives
Mr.. Cleveland the pole. With the
3O6 votes of the solid south and 2x
from the middle states would give
him one more than he would want,
as ii will be seen that the combined
votes of the south and west make
548. We still think Cleveland will
be renominated.

The Winnebago and Crow Creek
Indian reservations were thrown
open In February, 1884, by the ad.
ministration OF President Arthur, to
settlement. There was large I'M
migration of settlers to take up
these desirable lands. The present
administration has revoked the
order opening these reservations,
and a company of United States
regulars has been ordered to proceed
to the spot and drive out the settlers.
This is an outrage without parallel,
and serious trouble Is sure to result.
1t Is quite as vicious and inhuman
as the evictions in Ireland. Cleve-
land won't do. He might as well
be placed on the list now. ;

SENATOR VEST, Of old Missouri

SENATOR VEST, OF old Missouri,
says: 81 am not expected to know
much of republican possibilities, but
it is evident that Mr.. Blaine and
Mr.. Sherman are the leading candi.
dates. Both are men Of unquestion-
able ability, but no two men can be
more unlike in temperament and
demeanor. Mr.. Blaine is dashing,
magnetic, brilliant leader, whose
followers would die for him, whilst
Sherman Is cold, deliberate, and
commands respect for his talents,
but nc enthusiasm or personal devo-
tion." We just want to remind the
senator that honest John Sherman
will be quite enough for Cleveland
in 1888. Index the remark.

men could put the Henry George land
project into operation without diff
Guilty, the New York Times invites his
attention to the provision of the con-
stitution of New York which vests the
entire and absolute property in lands
within the state in their owners, &C.
cording to the nature of their estates.
1t pertinently suggests that he "will
perhaps, perceive that no Legislature

chosen from the lunatic asylum, get
over this provision so long as the
courts continued to exist and SO con-
strue the constitution"

Advising the Abandonment of the Plan
to Improve the Mississippi.
WASHINGTON, d. c., July 16.-The
chief of engineers has received the an
nual report of Capt. E. II. Puffner,
United States Engineers, upon the inn
provement of the Mississippi from the
Des Moines Rapids to the mouth of the
Illinois River. After describing the
dredging operations of the year and
their effect, Capt. Puffner says: "The gen.
eral result of the work on this part of the
river during the past nine years is not
encouraging. The river is so large that
the money appropriated was not enough
to build works of contraction in sufficient
number to control the river to such de-
gree as to enable an engineer
to predict what the final result
would be in depth of channel
It cannot be stated that the general
depth of the navigable channel has been
increased. There is no reason to think
that congress will give a greater amount
of money in the future than it
has in the past. That sum, which
has been on an average less
than 500, 900 a year is not enough to car
ry on with success plan of permane Mt
Improvement. 1t would be better to al
ter the plan of work than to pretend to
continue in the present course" Capt.
PuHner expresses the opinion that un-
der the circumstances stated future eff
forts should be limited to affording tenn
pOrarV relief.

degree of exactness. After his depart

dence on being free from any outside
interference with their plans for

contemplates, have examinations

make such swindles as that at Gin

FLAMES AT PLYMOUTH.

A Destructive Confagration Visits the
Thriving Little City Nine Buildings
Laid in Ashes.
PLYMOUTH, Wis, July 15.-This city
experienced most destructive fire last
evening-by far the most disastrous ever
in it's history. The fire originated
in Kolsta's Railway Hotel ana
eating house, adjoining the Union De-
pot of the Milwaukee & Northern and
Chicago & NorthW estern Railways, and
is thought to have been caused by
spark from the engine of a passing
freight train. The alarm was given at
7:20 and the city fire department re-
sponded promptly and citizens generally
turned out: but owing to the remoteness
of water and the repeated bursting OF
the hose in consequence of the unusual
pressure required to force the water up
from the river, where it was necessary
to station the engine, the tiremen were
unequal to the contest, and accomplished
little or nothing, and building after
building followed in quick succession,
until there were no more to be de-
stroyed. The loss will aggregate
fully $4,000, all swept away
in less than two hours. The buildings

feed warehouses and the Milwaukee &
Northern Railway Company's coal shed,
all of which were burned to the ground,
a portion of the contents of a few only
being saved.
The approximate loss and insurance
are as follows, SO far as an estimate can
be made this morning: $500 on grain;
Milwaukee & Northern Railways coal
sheds and coal, $500; S. III. Conover's

set to work repairing tracks as soon as
the fire had sufficiently subsidized and

porarily gotten in shape for arriving
trains without any bad delays. But for
favorable winds the fire would have
swept over the best residence portion
of the city.

LONDON, July ia dispatch to-day
from st. Petersburg by way of Gumby-
neenen in Eastern Russia, states that
on July 10 a band of religious fanatics
attempted to murder the wife of the
Grand Duke Nicholas Constantinovitch,
son of the Grand Duke Constantine,
uncle of the Car. The attempt at
assassination was made at the Paulovsk
Palace, where the lady and her husband
were stopping. The cause given for
the attack was that the Grand Duchess,
who is Lutheran, refused to modify the
terms of her marriage covenant,
which accords her the privilege of
remaining a Lutheran, and join
the Greek Church. The fanatics
were all arrested. having been caught
near the palace. While they were being
removed to the Jail they cried
out to the Grand Duchess: "We
have already had enough of
Maria Paulowna!' referring to the Grand
Duchess of that name who is the wife
of the Grand Duke Vladimir, brother
of the Car, whom the populace
have suspected of making prose-
lytes. It is stated that previous to the at
tempt, religious fanatics also tried to as
sasslnate the Grand Duchess Elizabeth.

Not Prohibited byLaw

A question was recently presented to
the treasury department as to the right
of foreign steamers to take excursion
parties from Buffalo to pleasure resorts
on the Canadian shore of the Niagara
river and return. The collector of Gus
oms at Buffalo has held that such prac-
tice is prohibited by law, but the collect
or of the treasury has given an opinion
that there is nothing in the law to pre-
vent foreign steamers from taking pas
sengers from an American port into for
eign territory and returning with them to
the same American port. provided no
trading is done with other American
ports on the route.

Peace in Honolulu,

The steamship Australia arrived at
San Francisco on the 18th from Homo
lulu, having sailed thence July 5. No
further outbreak or demonstration of
any character occurred after those de-
scribed as having taken place on June
overthrow of the Gibson ministry and
the obtaining Of a written pledge
from King Kalakaua to promote consti-
tutiOnal reform and submit to the will
OF the people. The new constitution
was to be laid before the people the day
the steamer sailed. Ex-Premier Gibson
and his son-in-law, F. HI. Hayselden,
were held in jail until the night of July
2, when Gibson was allowed to remove
to his house, where he remains under
military guard. The excitement had so
far subsidized by July that the celebra-
ton of the American national holiday
was handsomely observed.
